A terrific resource that contains lots of other resources and information. If you only read one book on menopause and perimenopause, make it this one! ( ) nonfiction, women's and AFAB health - a freelance writer provides her own experiences (hot flashes, incontinence, a little brain fog) with tons of input from noted menopause experts and the occasional inspirational menopausal quote from various persons of note. very readable and a quick read, with tons of good information from multiple experts in the field (including a menopause skincare dermatologist, if you're interested). Not a complete guide to everything menopause, but an excellent place to start and it includes so much that the author hopes will be helpful to readers in getting the support that they might need and definitely deserve--don't miss the resources in the back, including where people might find support from peers (redhotmamas.org, menopausecafe.net), doctors (menopause.org, augs.org, blackdoctor.org, myalloy.com) and research institutions (nccih.nih.gov, swanstudy.org)--and lower-cost therapists (openpathcollective.com, apsa.org), as well as "Reliable Websites for Health Information" (medline, etc. - always a good reminder!) I liked that it also talked about the ways that the body changes post-menopause, so readers can take note of what additional risks (osteoporosis, heard disease, etc.) might run in their families and what they can do in perimenopause and beyond that may help ensure a better quality of life (as well as prevent serious injury due to inevitable falls/accidents). Note to self: you can't grow new capillaries (or muscle mass fed by such capillaries?) and most likely will lose a significant amount of bone density after menopause arrives, so now would be a great time to increase exercise closer to those recommended levels (30 min.-1hr per day, esp. weight-bearing activity and maybe some strength training); also consider taking 1200mg/day calcium (ages 13-70, pref. mostly through food) and 600 IU vit.D. (ages 50-70), with 1000-2000 IU being a typical recommendation for supplements). Also, the perimenopause transition can apparently make people more susceptible to gum disease, so it'd be a good idea to floss more often. also recommended: Gabrielle Union's You Got Anything Stronger? for her personal story on her serious depression and suicidal thoughts brought on by perimenopause (a symptom that hardly anyone ever talks about yet affects so many people and definitely deserves more attention). Gabrielle is really entertaining and has a lot of other good stories besides. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:“Hot and Bothered removes the shame, disdain, and mystery that’s surrounded menopause….An informative, entertaining and desperately needed book.” —Jen Sincero, author of You Are a Badass When Jancee Dunn hit her mid-forties, she was bombarded by seemingly random symptoms: rampant insomnia, spring-loaded nerves, weirdly dry mouth, and Rio Grande-level periods. After going to multiple doctors who ran test after fruitless test, she was surprised to finally discover the culprit—perimenopause. For more than two decades, Jancee had been reporting on mental and physical health. So if she was unprepared for this, what about all the women who don’t write about health for a living? Hot and Bothered is the book she wishes existed as she was scrambling for information: an empowering, research-based guide on how women can tackle this new stage of life. Menopause isn’t a disease, but a natural, normal life transition. Why, then, are we still speaking in whispers about something that affects half the earth’s population? Through in-depth interviews with renowned menopause experts and trusted authorities, Dunn peels back the layers on this still-mystifying topic with her trademark humor and unpacks the science on both hormonal and nonhormonal treatments. She provides actionable ways to improve sleep, sex, moods, mental clarity, and skin; details the latest treatments for hot flashes; and explores the best practices to stop “peezing” (that would be peeing when you sneeze, thanks to your new urinary issues). Dunn’s clear, easy-to-follow advice will help you reclaim yourself—and fully embrace life’s next chapter. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
